Product Review: bareMinerals Skincare

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I tried the bareMinerals line of skincare. I have heard great things about bareMinerals makeup on TV, so I hoped the skincare lived up to the same reputation. I received the Naturally Luminous Skin Renewing Trio with RareMinerals Active Soil Complex. According to the website, “This 30-day cleanser, moisturizer and eye treatment trio is the perfect introduction to bareMinerals Skincare. Our Purifying Facial Cleanser removes makeup and impurities while also hydrating and renewing skin. Our Purely Nourishing Moisturizer keeps your skin moisturized and protected so you can have younger-looking skin day after day. Our Skincare Firming Eye Treatment, completes your routine, restoring firmness and reducing puffiness around the eye area. All 3 formulas are powered by our 100% pure RareMinerals ActiveSoil Complex clinically proven to deliver incredible skin-renewing benefits, including faster cell turnover, smaller-looking pores, increased luminosity and antioxidant protection.”

My take on it: Just because something says it has three times the antioxidant capacity of blueberries, means nothing to me if it doesn't work well. But since this stuff is great, knowing that it has three times the antioxidant capacity of blueberries is awesome! First and foremost, I LOVE the Purifying Facial Cleanser because it is a makeup remover and cleanser in one. It feels very silky. I just wet my face and use a small amount that easily lathers. It does not irritate my eyes in the least, and I have sensitive eyes due to my dry eye condition. It also does a spectacular job of removing all the makeup and dirt, which I can’t say for my other cleansers. The Purely Nourishing Facial Moisturizer feels a little thick, almost like sunscreen, but rubs in with no problems and my skin feels balanced after using it. When it comes to the Firming Eye Treatment, a little bit seems to go a long way!

I have been using this regimen for a couple weeks now and really feel like my skin condition has improved. This weekend, I notice that I seemed to have a bit of the glow I had in my younger years and my skin even looks a little firmer. I am all for luminosity!
